Finances are only just BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS!!!

[BDG]

Thats a poor way to look at it. Someone working for £6.19 an hour in a dry cleaners would see little benefit if any being self employed and doing the same thing. However, someone that has the skills to do the kind of work they would do would see lots of benefit from setting up their own dry cleaning company.

If they do not have the balls to go it alone, then paying them anything more than the minimum they are willing to work for is charity and that is not the way any financial transaction should work. I do not pay more than a products stated price when I make a purchase because it would be better for the shop.
